Izumi Kyōka’s Fukagawa: Two Translations
At the turn of the twentieth century, the novelist and playwright Izumi Kyka ( 1872-1939) set several stories in and around Fukagawa.It was a working-class district on the east bank of the Sumida River, very much a vestige of the old city of Edo, but from the Meiji era (1912-1925) onward, it was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization.A densely packed neighborhood of canals, wooden houses, lumberyards and factories, it would become th…

Spirits of Another Sort: The Plays of Izumi Kyoka
"Spirits of Another Sort is a literary-critical study that traces the development of Kyoka's work from the melodramatic formulas of his early ideological fiction to the increasingly grotesque and fantastic permutations of the original pattern in his plays of the Taisho era. It is important reading for those whose interests lie in Japanese literature, theater, and film and in crosss-cultural theater and film."--BOOK JACKET
